2002 BMW M3: Rerunning the Numbers

April 09, 2008

After replacing the worn ContisportContact rubber on our long-term M3 with four new Yokohama Advan AD07 tires (225/45R18 front and 255/40R18 rear) from the Tire Rack we headed back to the track for a retest.

Straight-line acceleration was slightly quicker.

Old tires:

0-60: 5.3
Quarter mile: 13.9 @ 102.1*

*Note: Trap speed was incorrectly reported as 107.1 in the original post.
